Australian police are conducting a massive manhunt for Dezi Freeman, 56, suspected of killing two officers and injuring a third in Porepunkah, Victoria.

Freeman remains at large in dense bushland near his home, with authorities using helicopters, armoured vehicles, and local expertise to track him.

The suspect has reportedly expressed “sovereign citizen” beliefs, raising concerns about extremist views.
